Have you ever had one of those days, or phases, when you feel as if you are constantly thinking 'what am I doing?' or 'what am I supposed to be doing?' Everyone has probably experienced this at least once before and in the short post below, Dr. Larry Markson discusses a way to alter our mindset when we encounter this phenomenon in order to better handle these moments of 'fog.'

Fog

by Dr. Larry Markson

When we feel muddled and unfocused, unsure of which way to turn, we say we are in a fog. Similar to when we are in a fog in nature, we may feel like we can’t see where we’re going or where we’ve come from, and we’re afraid if we move too quickly we might run into something hidden in the mists that seem to surround us.

Being in a fog necessarily slows us down by limiting our visibility. The best choice may be to pull over and wait for the murkiness to clear. If we move at all, we must go slowly, feeling our way and keeping our eyes open for shapes emerging from the haze, perhaps relying on the taillights of someone in front of us as we make our way along the road.

By and large, most of us prefer to be able to see where we are going and move steadfastly in that direction, but there are gifts that come from being in a fog. Sometimes it takes an obstacle like fog to get us to stop and be still in the moment, doing nothing. In this moment of involuntary inactivity, we may look within and find that the source of our fogginess is inside us; it could be some emotional issue that needs tending before we can safely go full steam ahead.

Being in a fog reminds us that when we cannot see outside ourselves, we can always make progress by looking within. Then again, the fog may simply be teaching us important lessons about how to continue moving forward with extreme caution, harnessing our attention, watching closely for new information, and being ready to stop on a dime.

We cannot predict when a fog will come, nor can we know for certain when it will lift, but we can center ourselves in the haze and wait for guidance. We may find it inside ourselves or in a pair of barely visible taillights just ahead.

Whether we follow the lights out of the fog, wait for a gentle breeze to lift it, or allow the sun to burn it away, we can rest certain that one way or another, we will move forward with clarity once again.

"I began my chiropractic care in October 2017 because of increased pain and decreased mobility in my left hip that had gotten increasingly worse over the previous 4-5 months. I love that I have been able benefit from whole body treatment that in turn has almost completely taken away the issues I was experiencing with my hip. I am so grateful for feeling good again and I highly recommend Healthy Life for your chiropractic care and total life wellness."

After driving several hundred miles a week and spending time on the computer for work, I not only get regular adjustments, I utilize the massage therapists as well.

Happy Monday! It's time to share some fun facts about the docs at Healthy Life Chiropractic! Today get to know more about Dr. Rob Stevens!
Some of the places that I have lived include Cadiz, Ohio. This is a small town in eastern Ohio where I grew up. I went to College at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio where I spent 4 very fun years of my life! I then briefly lived in Cincinnati before moving to Chicago to start chiropractic school. I enjoyed Chicago so much that after graduation, I stayed there for the next 20 years before ultimately moving to Peachtree City in 2016!

Happy Saturday! It's time to share another success story from the docs at Healthy Life Chiropractic! This week, learn more about Dr. Tina McKay!
Q. What is the most memorable relief you have provided for a patient?
A. I started seeing a patient over fifteen years ago that suffered from sciatica. He had been to numerous other health care providers without relief, including another chiropractor! We started him in the office and I gave him my recommendations. Six weeks later and following my recommendations, his sciatica pain was resolved! He is still a patient and I have had the honor of taking care of his wife and children!

Muscle injuries are becoming more common because people are more sedentary. Plus, as we age our joints tend to tighten, making range of motion and flexibility even more restricted. Massage therapy is a beneficial treatment for maintaining and improving flexibility and motion. By working on muscles, connective tissues, tendons, ligaments, and joints, regular massage can improve your flexibility and range of motion, keeping your joints more fluid and making them less injury prone.
